Purple fringed orchid. Reminds me of Edvard Munch's "The Scream".
Found in a roadside ditch.

Hi Bob, I'm sitting here howling as I view your image. I love the title and the originality of your image.

Nice capture.

Talk of painting with light

- I googled "The Scream" and you are so right about the analogy. Super photo, Bob.

Intriguing lighting in this one. I also really like the color and structure of the orchid.
